Gmail users can now send attachments up to 10GB

That's a bit ridiculous haha

Too little to late for email I'm afraid. Still, it will be nice if this catches on. One less hoop to jump through...

Yeah usually if I need to share a large file I just throw it on dropbox. One upload, many downloads vs many uploads, many downloads. There's a time and place for each though.

i'm all for more options to share a larger amount of media. many people still use e-mail. i use it daily. i had a dropbox account and barely glanced at it once i had it.

HHHHMMMMMMM!!! How can the pirates capitalize from this?

Its a good cloud email Idea and the pi5wtes don't need to use this when they have jumbo files that gives them 500gb of space and they can upload what they want to there. for me this will be great as most of my family use gmail and we send pictures all the time to each other and not just one or 3 the other day I got over 150 photos and they where all png files.

This is actually freaking awesome. At least sending from gmail account to gmail account.

Er without data resume from pauses or loss of connection what good is it?

Also, great if you have an unlimited data internet plan, but not so great if you don't.

I use Pando to send large amounts of data through my e-mail.It works with any type of e-mail account and is free. The paid for version allows you to send up to 3 GB's of data.
I have used it to send my friends in the Philippines copies of movies I converted to MP4's.It depends on your ISP how fast you can transfer data back and forth. Both you the sender and the recipient have to have the program installed on your computer for it to work.You don't need to have an unlimited data plan either.

Ive got 50GB for the next few years thanks to my S3 :) i think there is a modified apk out there for other phones, that said ive heard dropbox has detected some of the accounts where the patched apk was used for the upgrade.
